EMBRACE WEIRD: You Belong Here — 1 Peter 2:4-10 | Dave Miers
Series: EMBRACE WEIRD: Reclaim the Genius of the First Christians from First Peter
Date: 15 February 2026
Preacher: Rev Dave Miers
Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-10
--
In 1 Peter 2:4-10, Peter tells scattered and marginalised Christians that they are living stones being built into God's house — a holy and royal priesthood. Drawing on the Reformation principle that all believers are priests, not just clergy, this passage addresses those who feel they don't fit in or feel inadequate, affirming that everyone who belongs to Jesus has a place and a purpose. Three things define our role as priests: we worship Christ by offering our whole lives as living sacrifices; we stand on Christ as our cornerstone, who takes our shame and gives us honour; and we proclaim Christ's excellencies to the world around us. Church life is messy, and people will let us down, but Jesus hasn't given up on his building project — and neither should we.
--
Our dream is to be a city of refuge within the city of Brisbane, where many people have found refuge, security, and hope in Christ.
